How Much Force to Accelerate a Box with Known Friction?

[BiG mAnN]

I need help on this question, The coefficient of friction between a 4.0 kg box and the floor is 0.60. How large of a horizontal force is necessary to give the box an acceleration of 2.0m/s²?

that sounds suspiciously like a homework problem

 

[thowonasweaterandgo]

Friction force = (coefficient of friction) * (normal force)
F = ma

all you need

Yeah ! Movin' it...
